Yah, half the world will be rollin' up with spotted handkerchiefs on sticks slung over their shoulders, Davo.

The Australian Government has sold the country from underneath its Australian Born Citizens.
Australia is a socialist communist shithole. It once had potential but that finally marched out the door in the 80s NEVER to be able to return.
Malcolm Fraser, Bob Hawke and Paul Keating were the main culprits and it's continued on further by others up until today.
An honourable mention to that junkyard selling dog Jeff Kennet for Victoria and equalled today by Daniel Andrews.
The country is fucked & lost.
Whilst most cannot see this, every Libertarian to-a-man will agree with you 100% brother.

Yeah the chinese student intake here in New Zealand is also a huge industry (well it was before covid...now the government are trying to find ways to kickstart it post CV). Sadly all of our previous governments have slowly let chinese corporations come in and begin take over our main industries like farming and the Moari basically sold the fishing rights to china
Yep. You've no doubt heard about the mass private-property, farmland, infrastructure and even port acquisition goin' on across the dutch too, bro'. Friggin' stinks... of a communist overtake in progress.

New Zealand is very quickly reaching a point where we will have to choose between China and the USA in terms of "who's side are we on"
This has been the general consensus over here for some years too, mate. The LSM, of course, has continued to paint the kumbaya picture that we can and ought to straddle the fence (mind those splinters!) and "be nice" to the CCP so we can continue to sell it the goods it requires.
There's an old saying I love:
You can't serve two masters.

I think at least part of what you're missing is the huge Chinese component of the university-student intake, Jim, alluded to by WGAF.
There's been a verified, concerted effort on the part of the CCP to control these students, the obvious goal being to ensure that they say and do nothing against its interests whilst it "quietly" acquires land and goes about the typical communist M.O. of takeover by stealth. You can see why it would want to shut down dissent.
Another thing is the mineral and fossil-fuel wealth. China needs our iron ore and coal, along with various other raw materials for tech production. So far it's appeared to be happy to buy it, but hey, if the CCP owned it...
That's what I came here to say. Not an expert though. You guys have a lot of gold too right? Wasn't as up on the uni thing so I learn something new everyday.
Indeed, mate. We gots gold... and lithium (batteries), copper, yellow cake... you name it, we've probably got it.

You must have me confused with Splawndude, Steve or Indy, mate; I can't cook for shit.
My specialty is raw bananas.

So that makes way more sense, did not know those 2 key ingredients. In the past they would push as far as possible without making it too obvious, now it is clear they are pushing forward even if it means a small scale military action. They have a lot on their plate at the moment with all the flooding, If they push too hard they will not have enough food due to all the crops they have lost in the floods. They will have to import food from other countries or a lot of Chinese people will die down the road a bit. It will at least give some leverage to Austrailia's allies if only on a temporary basis.
Its interesting to watch, infuriating but interesting...
Indeed, Jim.

I can guarantee you a fraction of those students are relaying information back to the homeland..
Yup. Guaranteed.
